Explanation:

The domain name system is a naming database that maps the name people use to locate a website to the IP address that is then used by a computer to locate a website. It is connected to the Internet or a private network.

An IP address is a 32-bit binary number, but it's normally written out as 4 octets in decimal form as it is easier for humans to read.
